Can fans buy beer after 7th inning tonight?
by Peter Mucha, Inquirer Staff Writer, Posted: October 29, 2008
With 5-1/2 innings of World Series Game 5 already in the books, a question arises of great concern to many Phillies fans going to Citizens Bank Park tonight:
Will beer sales be cut off after the seventh inning?
No, says David Freireich, spokesman for Aramark, which operates all the park's concessions.
"Today is considered a new event," he said.
So the brew won't stop flowing at the 7th.
Sources at the ballpark – including some beer vendors – said beer sales would be stopped at the start of the ninth inning.
So should the Phillies win in 9 - thereby clinching the city's first championship in 25 years - fans are likely to have beers at hand for what's bound to be a wild celebration.
Designated drivers and others trying to keep warm will, of course, have other beverage choices - which can be purchased in World Series cups or mugs.
(Fans are not permitted to bring in glass bottles, cans, thermoses, hard-sided coolers, and open containers (like paper cups), although small plastic water bottles, baby bottles, small soft-sided coolers, and single-serve, soft-sided juice container are allowed.)
At Monday's rain-shorted game, Aramark sold 15,000 cups of hot chocolate, outselling coffee and hot tea.
The stands did not run out of hot chocolate at Monday's game, contrary to one report.
Some carts just couldn't get enough water containers delivered because the concourses were so crowded with fans trying to stay dry.
Soup and chili are also served at the park during cold weather, with summer's water ice offerings scaled back.
Hot dogs are the most popular food. About 16,000 were sold on average during the first three World Series dates here, Freireich said.
McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon is the park's only food and beverage outlet that Aramark doesn't run.
Aramark even manages concessions that bear the names of familiar restaurants, like Rick's Steaks, Tony Luke's, and Chickie's & Pete's Crab Fries.
Aramark also operates the concessions at Lincoln Financial Field, the Wachovia Center and the Wachovia Spectrum.

Decided to take the plunge after reading a number of decent reviews on it (Armchair General , A Wargaming Odyssey) . Contents are first rate and generally high quality, and the pricing was reasonable given how packed and hefty the box was. With the prices for a lot of boardgames kicking off at £50, then the £34 I paid is a steal, and that is from my regular supplier rather than bargain hunting.
The artwork on the maps appear to be slightly adjusted from the classic maps, but I would of thought that they would of the opportunity to blend in the tones and edges of the different maps a bit better. Placing two maps side by side still leaves a bit of a discontinuity as its hard to imagine the layout as a single battlefield. Also the terrain seem to be more 'out of focus'.
There is also a road heavy map, and it really is road heavy with around 30% of the hexes being paved. Despite the high level ground scale I find it hard to believe that such a layout would exist in a non-urban environment, if your going to build roads over hills as well as round them then there should be a good rational for doing so.
Also got the Munchkinomicon expansion for Munchkin, and I muchhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif prefer these small fixed boosters to the larger expansions, even if your not getting the same 'value for money' from the smaller decks. Not too many additional rules, and simple if silly cards.
I've now separated out the expansion cards from the original deck as I feel that the cards and variations were just too much. May start adding them back in a more tailored deck approach. Although probably better fitting in with Munchkin Cthulhu, this should slot into a standard game perfectly, though how it will sit with the Santa and Fairy Dust expansions I don't know, but that sort of weirdness is to be expected of Munchkin.

February 12, 2019 (MLN): Engro Fertilizer Limited (EFERT) conducted its analyst briefing on February 11, 2019 to discuss its financial results of CY18. As per a report by Sherman Securities, the key area of discussion hovered around the ongoing issue of GIDC (Gas Infrastructure and Development Cess) settlement.
During the briefing, the Company informed that government is taking strong measures for fertilizer sector, including 50% waiver in GIDC payables for the period Jan'12 to Dec'18.
Along with this, government has also decided to give 50% reduction in prospective GIDC rates to those companies who opt for this scheme while they have to reduce urea price by Rs200/bag.
However, the management of the company revealed that they did not agree with reducing urea price following decline in GIDC, as they have not passed on other cost to consumers since last few years.
The management was of the view that if company had fully passed on the impact of GIDC and other costs, then urea price would have been around Rs2,000/bag instead of existing price of Rs1,740/bag.
The management believed that opting for this GIDC scheme and not reducing urea price may lead to the company's recurring EPS to improve by Rs2/share. Moreover, they will also receive net amount of Rs. 17 billion from government (Rs9 billion extra GIDC paid + Rs8 billion subsidy and GST claims). Thus, in this case, company will also book reversal of 50% GIDC in its book which translates into one time impact of Rs11/share.
Speaking to Mettis Global News on this, Mr. Saqib Hussain from Sherman Securities said that the government may compel company to reduce urea price and thus EFERT may not opt this amnesty scheme in order to avoid losses on recurring earnings or there are chances that government may further discuss this issue with fertilizer companies which may take some time.
'If this situation prevails during 2019 and company continue to book 100% GIDC on old plant (feed+Fuel) and on new plant (fuel only), CY19 earnings of EFERT would likely be Rs11.4/share" he said.
On the other hand if company avails this amnesty scheme, receives full amount from government and maintain urea price at current level, EPS would improve to Rs24 in CY19, he added.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy: The New Face Of Bulgari
By Ana B. Remos
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy: The New Face…
Muse of designers and artists, fan of rock stars, successful singer and First Lady of France. Very few people can reinvent themselves and successfully accomplish such different roles in a single lifetime. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has done that and more with elegance and ease.
At 46, the author of the international musical hit Quelqu´un m´a dit comes back to pose as a model for one of the most luxurious jewelry brands in the world, Bulgari. When it seemed her life was centered around her recent maternity and her music, Bruni surprises us again.
This collaboration has been most peculiar. Terry Richardson, the photographer responsible for the campaign, is one of the most relevant creative talents in the current international art scene. Although his irreverent, erotic portraits don't necessarily represent the seriousness of the Italian brand, we can see he has temporarily put aside his wild side to execute this campaign.
The snapshots highlight the natural beauty and sophistication we expect from the former First Lady. The photo session was held in Rome, and it featured an exultant, attractive protagonist covered in luxurious jewelry. "Bulgari is for me the symbol of passion and of this vivid and colorful Roman gaiety", said the beautiful Italian.
Carla Gilberta Bruni-Tedeschi was born in Turin (Italy) into a family of creative talents. Her father, Alberto Bruni-Tedeschi, was an opera composer, although the family´s main source of income came from different business lines. Her mother, Marisa Borini, played the piano and performed in a few plays during her youth. The young Carla was surrounded by music since childhood, and learned how to play several instruments.
She received a strict boarding school education in France and Switzerland, and later initiated studies in architecture, but destiny marked a different path for the young girl. She abandoned her studies to focus on a modeling career. Her spectacular body, feline beauty and ardent determination led her to success. In the 1990s she became one of the best paid models in the world and joined the select circle of Supermodels, alongside Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer and Helena Christensen. The top models took over the modeling industry and graced thousands of coveted magazine covers and hundreds of ad campaigns for famous designers, like Versace, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel.
At the same time her personal life could not be more eventful: she captivated the hearts of rock stars and actors such as Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Vincent Pérez and Kevin Costner, among others. But the man she chose to be the father of her first son Aurélien was the handsome philosopher Raphael Enthoven.
In 1997, Carla left the fashion world to concentrate on her singing career. As with every project she undertakes, she was quite successful. Her critically acclaimed album Quelqu´un m´a dit sold two million copies around the world. She performed with her acoustic guitar, but her magnetism completely filled the stage and enthralled audiences.
By 2008 her life was about to dramatically change, once again. After a frugal courtship followed by a quick wedding, she married Nicolas Sarkozy, at the time President of French Republic, and became France's First Lady. She assumed her new role in her own way. She did not get involved in political affairs and her participation in official acts was strategically limited, but every time the couple appeared in public, it was the source of great anticipation and high expectations. Fans and detractors painstakingly studied the gowns she wore, the height of her heels, and the handbags and hats that complemented each outfit. However, being the center of attention was business as usual for Bruni, and she learned to balance her role as consort with that of mother and singer.
A couple of years after leaving the Élysée Palace she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Giulia Sarkozy. In addition she has a new album out, and now returns to modeling as the new face of Bulgari. She looks dazzling, renewed and radiant. Carla Bruni's new cycle has just begun. ■

This post is the third in a series featuring Lilly's people from across the EU, in which we explore the state of healthcare in their countries, the EU elections and their implications, and more. Today, we have 4 questions with Concetto Vasta, Senior Director of Corporate Affairs and Market Access at Lilly Italy.
1. Why is Italy a good place for a biopharmaceutical company to invest?
Italy has all of the fundamentals required for a biopharmaceutical company to thrive. It is the 6th-largest pharmaceutical market in the world, which makes it very attractive. Italy also has a highly educated workforce in the life sciences (and beyond) which provides the talent the biopharmaceutical industry requires. In parallel, our industry has been present in the country for a long time, which means there is a history of high-quality scientific and manufacturing know-how specific to biopharma. In addition, Italy's regulatory framework supports innovation, especially through the protection of intellectual property, so when a company invests it can do so safe in the knowledge that its work will be protected. Lastly, I'd mention the tradition and scope of public-private partnerships that we are able to forge here, which is highly beneficial to all parties in the health arena as it is a win-win approach
2. How would you rate patient access in Italy to new and exciting innovations?
According to the EFPIA Patient W.A.I.T. Indicator 2018 survey, the average time between EU marketing authorization and patient access in Italy is 402 days. This is around the European average, but the second slowest amongst similarly large markets in the EU (Germany, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom). These delays in access create inequalities compared to other countries in Europe, and mean patients miss out on treatments which can enhance and even prolong their lives. Moreover, after national approvals by the Italian regulatory agency (AIFA), additional approvals are needed in all Italy's regions, which causes further delays and creates intra-regional disparities within the country. Inequalities based on where someone happens to live breach the principle of equality and right to health that are hallmarks of the Italian Constitution. For this reason, enhancing access is one of the most important priorities in healthcare, and the Italian trade association for our industry, Farmindustria, has it at the top of its agenda. Ultimately, the fix is political, and we hope that Italian institutions will do their utmost to improve current access levels.
3. What is Lilly Italy looking for in the next EU mandate?
More than anything, we hope that the EU will help to maintain and even boost existing levels of innovation. Also, we hope that current funds for innovation in national healthcare budgets will remain sizeable. While this is a national prerogative, we still feel that it is a discussion that could be raised to the European level, so that member states can more easily compare the positive effects of innovation funding. Last but not least, we would like to see improvements in conditions for clinical research across the EU, especially a well-designed framework of rules, with standardized processes that can facilitate clinical trials.
4. Looking into your crystal ball, what are your hopes for healthcare in 10 years?
The next-generation medicines our industry has been developing over the past few years – like regenerative, one-shot, gene-therapies, and others – will have dramatic effects on healthcare. Many new therapies will dramatically change the lives of patients by eradicating diseases, or at least making them completely manageable. This will of course also result in enormous long-term savings for both healthcare and welfare budgets. But these new therapies are expensive to develop, and many remain early-phase. The ethical implications of these costs are being questioned at scientific and political tables, in relation to the sustainability of healthcare systems. Governance structures created for the biopharmaceutical industry many years ago to manage 'old' therapies are in many cases no longer applicable, given how different the new therapies are today and will be tomorrow. My hope for the next 10 years, for Italy and the rest of Europe, is that we will be able to adapt biopharmaceutical governance and regulatory systems in order to respond to advances in scientific research, and ultimately make life-saving and enhancing medicines available for increasing numbers of patients, while maintaining the sustainability of healthcare systems.
Lilly Italy first opened 60 years ago at Sesto Fiorentino just outside Florence, where we have been based ever since and now employ around 1,200 people. Our manufacturing plant is one of Italy's most innovative plants for the production of biotechnology drugs, currently producing close to 50% of Lilly's insulin and dulaglutide auto-injectors worldwide. This makes us the top biopharma company in Italy in terms of export volumes (98% of production). We marked our anniversary on July 10th this year with an institutional event at our Campus where we will deliberate on the state of the biopharmaceutical sector in Italy, future trends in R&D, and how healthcare systems should adapt to ensure sustainability.

Union helps B.C. transit works negotiate contract
On Behalf of Overholt Law LLP | Feb 23, 2016 | Labour And Employment Law |
While not all workers belong to a union, there are a variety of things those who do can look to the organization for help with. One of those things is negotiating compensation and benefits. Generally, when it comes to matters of this nature there is an assumption that a group has more power than individuals, providing leverage in negotiation. A tactic members of a union might use in the course of negotiation is a strike.
Recently a union that represents transit workers in British Columbia reached a deal with First Canada regarding their new contract. The agreement came several days after the union issued a 72-hour strike notice. Approval of the deal would keep bus service going without disruption.
Initially, it seemed as though the strike was inevitable as the contract offered by First Canada was less than what transit workers in Victoria received this past summer. The national representative for Unifor–the union representing the workers–indicated he was shocked by the amendment First Canada came back with to its final offer.
Though not yet ratified, the deal, which is expected to be accepted, provides employees with a raise of 20 cents, each year over the course of the next four years. It is retroactive to April 1 of last year.


Okay, okay, relax folks! I got it. Please be patient, and just at the end of this boring post, you'll find the answer. Alternatively, you can skip it and directly head to the last bolded paragraphs.
Do you like Nanaimo bars, my friends? Indeed, I should ask something like "Have you tried these bars?" As the matter of fact, have you heard of them? If not, you should get to know them ASAP.
I got to know Nanaimo bars long time before coming to Canada. Well, that wasn't that long. Around two years prior to coming.
When Andrey and I knew we would likely move to Canada, I immediately did a very important research on the Canadian cuisine.
However, Google didn't provide me with many authentic recipes. I thought that might be a very secret piece of information which isn't available until you get a Canadian passport (Or imagine a passport with a page assigned to the famous Canadian recipes).
Certainly, later on, already being here, I realized that there's no such a thing as the Canadian cuisine. In fact, when it comes to Canadian food, it's quite a unique thing. It's basically an amazing blend of the all possible cuisines. Kind of melting pot. Thus, you will probably not find, let's say, "Canadian bread". But you might easily find Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Lithuanian bread. That's rather a simplified example, but you got my point.
Still, Canada has a few distinctive things to try like poutine and Montreal smoked meat.
Have you tried beaver tails? It's fried dough (like a huge flat donut) served with different spreads. Honestly, we tried once – nothing special but quite delicious if you're very hungry.
And as you already know, there are Nanaimo bars. So, I tried my first bars still living in Russia. They looked bad and miserable while tasted decent. They weren't authentic either because for a classic recipe you need custard powder.
Since that time I have made Nanaimo bars many times. We've tried cappuccino, mint, and orange flavors. There are a couple of ideas on havoc in the kitchen too like these Pumpkin Nanaimo Bars and these Irish Cream Nanaimo Bars.
If you'd like to try a classic flavor, these Nanaimo Bars are waiting for you.
All right. As you just read, I didn't get those cherry Nanaimo bars. "What happened to the peanut butter one?" you might ask.
I was planning to share those bars around Canada day (which would have totally made sense). As I've mentioned before, I often write posts while commuting. One day on my way to home I had a nice inspirational mood and wrote the text above.
The next day I was going to sort out and edit the pictures to publish the recipe. I opened the folder of the unpublished works – nothing. I opened every subfolder – nothing. I used the search option – no results. I checked the memory card which was a silly thing to do because I had shoot these bars a few weeks ago and definitely had downloaded the pics and emptied the card. I checked the bin – almost empty. I repeated all steps. And then again the next day hoping the folder would magically show up.
Oh boy! I have accidentally deleted the pics prior writing the post once or twice. Also, I regularly have a situation when I have good pictures but no clue what to write. There was quite an absurd situation. I had a nice recipe. I had inspiration. I had a decent post. I didn't have the photographs.
That's the way these Mojito Nanaimo Bars appeared. I decided not to recreate but try a new idea. I've also decided to use the previously written post regarding the peanut butter Nanaimo bars. Just to remember and laugh at yourself :) And I'm telling you guys I'm not upset about that story. What's the point of being upset when you got Mojito Nanaimo Bars?
These bars are truly a summer dessert. Indeed, what's the drink that is associated with summer? For me, it's a mojito. So imagine now. The coconut base, the refreshingly sweet and tart filling made of fresh mint, limes, and rum, and white chocolate on top? I opted for the white chocolate because I believe it introduces a summery look and taste. As about rum, there's a good amount of it. However, you won't much feel it. But it certainly gives a subtle spicy aftertaste. Besides, how cool is that to drink eat rum?
So please take a seat and drink eat some Mojito Nanaimo Bars.
Are you familiar with Nanaimo bars? Have you ever deleted unpublished pics?
In a bowl, stir together the graham crumbs, coconut, walnuts, and sugar. Stir in the butter and egg. Mix until combined. Press into parchment lined 9 inch square pan. Bake in the preheated to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) oven for about 7-9 minutes, until firm. Let it cool.
In a cup of your blender/mixer, beat the butter, custard powder, lime juice, rum, and mint leaves, for about one minute.
Spread the custard layer over the base. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
In a bowl over saucepan of hot water melt the chocolate with the butter and cream until smooth.
Spread over the second layer. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set. With a knife, score into bars and then refrigerate about 30 minutes.
Anyways, though I've never heard of Nanaimo bars, these look super amazing. You had me at Mojito!
I regularly promise myself to back up all my pics, and I am good…for a little while until another accident :)) 3 drivers – wow!
I can honestly say that has happened to me too and it makes my heart skip a beat when I think of it. Sorry to read that… and as of late video! It is a PAIN and I just sucked it up and re-did it. Grrrrr so frustrating but what can you do, right? And hence these wonderful mojito nanaimo bars came to be! Love the photos Ben, beautiful!
Oh, I guess losing a video is even worse than pics!
Yikes, I totally feel your pain, Ben! Losing photos or anything for the blog is like a punch to the gut!! BUT, as much as I love peanut butter, I'm happy you ended up with these! I mean, MOJITO! You knew I'd love this right!? I've never had a nanaimo bar before, so I totally need to get on these. ASAP! Cheers, buddy!
I have heard about Nanaimo bars only from you when you earlier shared those pumpkin Nanaimo bars. hahaha, "I thought that might be a very secret piece of information which isn't available until you get a Canadian passport (Or imagine a passport with a page assigned to the famous Canadian recipes)". Really? :D You really have a great sense of humor, Ben. That deleting accident happened with me a couple of times and thanks to my laptop's backup, I got them back. If I was you, I would have cried a lot. So glad that you shared this new version of these bars. These bars are delicious. I wish I could grab few of these right away.
Anu, I've cried a lot – I just didn't tell this hah:) Thank you very much, and I hope you try Nanaimo bars one day!
I once deleted all the instructional pics for some cinnamon rolls I made. Fortunately, I was able to link to Jamie Oliver, whose pictures were better anyway :). But UGH it's so frustrating when that happens! I love Nanaimo Bars and either a mojito version or a peanut butter version sounds quite divine. Have a great weekend, Ben!
Ben, I read this post right up until the end, learning all about your deleted images situation and I'm sorry but I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for you. I mean, good on you at getting right back up and recreating a new recipe from the original one, but myself I know I would have cried! I do have to agree though that Mojito is the best summer drink. And these do look like mighty tasty bars!! Have a great weekend, and cheers to you NOT deleting any more pictures!
Haha, what's done is done so there's no point to dwell on those pics. So let's laugh (and eat some Nanaimo bars then). Thank you!

A blockchain is a distributed, cryptographically-secure database structure that allows network participants to establish a trusted and immutable record of transactional data without the need for intermediaries. A blockchain can execute a variety of functions beyond transaction settlement, such as smart contracts. Smart contracts are digital agreements that are embedded in code and that can have limitless formats and conditions.
Blockchains have proven themselves as superior solutions for securely coordinating data, but they are capable of much more, including tokenization, incentive design, attack-resistance, and reducing counterparty risk. The very first blockchain was the Bitcoin blockchain, which itself was a culmination of over a century of advancements in cryptography and database technology."

9 Pros of Blockchain
As the name implies it is a chain of blocks, or sets of transactions in chronological order. So it's a chain of blocks with each block referencing the block that preceded it. The most-difficult-to-recreate chain is the best/main/longest block chain.
Each block gets added to the blockchain after a miner finds a hash that is accurate for that particular set of transactions. That hash along with the hash of the previous block is then distributed throughout the network and by consensus added to the most recent end of the block chain.
A list of validated blocks, each linking to its predecessor all the way to the genesis block.
The following information all comes from this post by Consensys (5-9-2019):
What is blockchain software?
Blockchain software is like any other software. The first of its kind was Bitcoin, which was released as open source software, making it available to anyone to use or change. There are a wide variety of efforts across the blockchain ecosystem to improve upon Bitcoin's original software. Ethereum has its own open source blockchain software. Some blockchain software is proprietary and not available to the public.
What is a blockchain database?
Historically, databases have incorporated a centralized client-server architecture, in which a sole authority controls the central server. This design means that data security, alteration, and deletion rests with a single point of failure. The decentralized architecture of blockchain databases emerged as a solution for many of the weaknesses of centralized database architecture. A blockchain network consists of a large number of distributed nodes — voluntary participants who must reach consensus and maintain a single transactional record together.
What is a blockchain system?
A blockchain system refers to all the aspects and features that go into a particular blockchain, everything from the consensus algorithm to the state machine to cryptographic functions. As Andreas Antonopoulus and Gavin Wood note in Mastering Ethereum, there are "a huge variety of blockchains with different properties" — qualifiers "help us understand the characteristics of the blockchain in question, such as open, public, decentralized, neutral, and censorship-resistant."
How does a blockchain work?
When a digital transaction occurs in a blockchain network, it is grouped together in a cryptographically-secure "block" with other transactions that have occurred in the same time frame. The block is then broadcast to the network. A blockchain network is comprised of nodes or participants who validate and relay transaction information. The block of transactions is verified by participants called miners, who use computing power to solve a cryptographic puzzle and validate the block of transactions. The first miner to solve and validate the block is rewarded. Each verified block is connected to the previously verified block, creating a chain of blocks. One important cryptographic underpinning of blockchains is the hash function. Hashing assigns a fixed value to a string that is inputted into the system. Blockchain hashing power results in a deterministic, quickly-computable, and preimage-resistant system. Explore our knowledge base to learn more about how a blockchain works.
What is a blockchain application?
Blockchain applications are comparable to conventional software applications, except they implement a decentralized architecture and cryptoeconomic systems to increase security, foster trust, tokenize assets, and design new network incentives. Here are over 90 Ethereum apps that are currently being used across the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem, from prediction markets to smart legal agreements.
What are the benefits of blockchain technology?
Blockchain technology has a wide variety of benefits, for both global enterprises and local communities. The most commonly cited benefits of a blockchain are trusted data coordination, attack-resistance, shared IT infrastructure, tokenization, and built-in incentivization.
What is the blockchain revolution?
Blockchain is considered a disruptive technology because of its ability to safeguard personal information, reduce intermediaries, unlock digital assets, and potentially open up the global economy to millions more participants. Sometimes called the Trust Machine, blockchain technology is bringing transparency and security to digital networks across countless industries. In many ways, the blockchain revolution can be considered a revolution in trust.

Pros of Blockchain
From Token Tuesdays (11-12-2019):
"Following the wild year of 2017 rampant with rogue ICOs, the lack of a coordinated body to effectively vote and fund projects led to a misguided and fragmented community. It wasn't until recently that we started taking a step back and focusing on the things blockchain was truly good for. In practice, blockchains enable:
Cost-effective social coordination
Immutable ledgers that provide a state of truth
Collaboration on a global scale
Innovation and distributed governance"

Sen. Gipson, Asm. Abinanti, Asm. Buchwald & Advocates Call on NYS to Keep Fracking Waste Out of New York
Media Contact: Jonathan Heppner | 845.463.0840 | heppner@nysenate.gov
ALBANY, NY – In recognition of Earth Day, New York State Senator Terry Gipson (D-Dutchess, Putnam) and Assemblymembers Tom Abinanti (D-Greenburgh/Mt. Pleasant) and David Buchwald (D-Westchester) reaffirmed their efforts to keep fracking waste out of New York State. Gipson and Abinanti have introduced legislation (S.3333/A.9074) that prohibits fracking wastewater from being used on highways for purposes such as melting ice. Gipson and Buchwald have introduced legislation (S.5412/A.7497) that prohibits the acceptance of fracking wastewater at water treatment facilities and landfills.
"I'm proud to work with Assemblymembers Abinanti and Buchwald on these common sense pieces of legislation to protect our environment and all New Yorkers from the variety of chemical and radioactive contaminants created by hydraulic fracturing," said Senator Gipson. "The risk of contamination could have a serious impact on our environment, economy and public health. No one wants to invest or live in a community whose environment could be contaminated by the spread or disposal of fracking wastewater."
"Earth Day reminds us of how dependent we are on clean air and water for our very survival. We can't use toxic chemicals from hydrofracking that risk destroying significant parts of our water supply," said Assemblyman Abinanti.
"Preserving clean water is one of the most important legacies we can pass on to future generations," said Assemblyman Buchwald. "It is my pleasure to work with Senator Gipson on ensuring that hydrofracking waste doesn't contaminate our water supply."
The production of oil and natural gas, especially the process of hydrofracking, generates wastewater with a variety of contaminants including endocrine disruptors and radioactive materials. Despite the well-known concerns and debate over the actual process of hydofracking that has led to legislative proposals, moratoriums and administrative and/or legislative oversight and regulation, far less has been done to address the serious issue of the possible reuse or disposal of fracking wastewater which can be easily imported into New York from other states. Under current federal and state law, fracking wastewater is classified as industrial, which eliminates tracking requirements for its handling, storage, treatment, and disposal.
Kate Hudson, Watershed Program Director, Riverkeeper stated, "Passage of these bills is crucial to protect all New Yorkers from the mishandling of fracking waste going on in New York State right now. Recognizing the environmental and health hazards from this waste stream, a dozen New York counties have already taken action to ban improper reuse and disposal of these waste products to protect their citizens. It's time for the State Legislature to follow suit and get fracking waste off our roads and out of our landfills and treatment plants."
Katherine Nadeau, Policy Director, Environmental Advocates of New York said, "New Yorkers oppose fracking because of the many public health and environmental dangers that are coming to light in states that bought the industry's propaganda and rushed to drill. The companies operating in those states should not be sneaking their waste into our backyards. It is unsafe and unscrupulous. Environmental Advocates applauds Senator Gipson and Assemblymen Abinanti and Buchwald for standing up for our health and environment, and we urge leadership in both houses of the legislature to listen to the public and stop the looming threat of fracking in New York."
Wastes from fracking often contain toxics like heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and radioactive materials, so spreading them on New York roads—where they can wash into soil or underground sources of drinking water—or dumping them at small-town landfills or water treatment plants not equipped to handle them, simply makes no sense," said Dan Raichel, Project Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council. "By ensuring that these industrial wastes have three less ways to end up in a water glass, Senator Gipson's, and Assemblymembers Abinati and Buchwald's bills would make all New Yorkers safer."
"New York has rightly delayed shale gas production within its borders because of concern about the health and environmental impacts. Yet bringing in toxic fracking waste from other states poses the same kinds of risks," said Nadia Steinzor, Eastern Program Coordinator, Earthworks. "These bills would stop dangerous practices statewide and are a big step forward in protecting New York's water, air, and communities."
"Fracking waste can contain a number of pollutants, such as chemicals, metals, and organic compounds that may be harmful to public health and the excess salts used can damage infrastructure and harm the environment," said Ellen Webb, Energy Program Associate, Center for Environmental Health. A number of New York counties have passed measures to ban road spreading of fracking waste. We applaud Senator Gipson's, and Assemblymembers Abinati and Buchwald's efforts to keep fracking waste out of New York."

This is a big one and should pinpoint improvements you can make in processes, inefficiencies, overhead and operations. Take a step back and analyze what's working and what isn't. You will be amazed at the areas that can be streamlined or transformed. If this feels overwhelming, start with small changes, or consider hiring a business consultant to help.
When a potential customer or client arrives on your website what is their first impression? Your online presence is one of the most important parts of your business because in many cases it is a determining factor for whether that customer decides to contact you. Hire a professional that can make solid recommendations for your website and your overall online presence (this should include social media too!).
If you have to dust off your business plan it's been too long since you looked at it! A business plan should be updated yearly and provide a road map for the year. It doesn't mean that you'll follow through with every item you outline, but it's helpful for keeping on task.
Keeping records and documents is essential in business, however, if your paperwork dates older than your first born, it might be time to declutter. The IRS recommends holding onto documents and records for no more than seven years. Call a shredding service or invest in an office shredder and host a shred party! This is also a great time to clean the clutter out of drawers and cabinets. Organizing guru Marie Kondo would suggest that if it doesn't bring you joy and isn't essential to business, it's time to toss it.
Is your email organized into folders? If your emails are all coming into your inbox unorganized, you've got some work to do! Email organization always hits the back burner because there are more pressing tasks, but make an effort with spring cleaning to do those things you always put aside.
Take a deep breath; You don't have to do this alone. I can help you tackle the tough stuff (and the stuff you don't want to do) to get your business on track! Reach out to me here, I'd love to connect with you.

Hurricane Grill & Wings Opening Fast Casual Concept, Hurricane BTW
Chicken wings on the go
by Olee Fowler@oleefowler Apr 1, 2016, 3:31pm EDT
Via "Retail Notebook: Hunter opens at Galleria mall" [Sun Sentinel]
Share All sharing options for: Hurricane Grill & Wings Opening Fast Casual Concept, Hurricane BTW
Hurricane BTW Facebook
Want your chicken wings with out the wait? Soon you'll have a restaurant for that. Hurricane Grill & Wings has announced plans for a new concept under its restaurant "umbrella" called Hurricane BTW — short for burgers, wings and tacos (which sounds oddly familiar). This new fast-casual concept will open its first location in Fort Lauderdale at 5975 N. Federal Highway on April 9 according to the Sun Sentinel. On the menu expect the restaurant's "best-selling items" like burgers, french fries, hand breaded chicken tenders, and wings with more than 20 flavors to choose from. And to make you feel a bit better about that bucket of wings you're about to down, during its opening weekend it is donating 100 percent of all sales to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. The restaurant will be open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Call 561-932-1075 for more info.

SGS Helps AUO Become the World's First ISO 50001:2011 Certified Manufacturing Organization
SGS is pleased to announce that it has certified AU Optronics Corporation's (AUO) 8.5G TFT-LCD facility located in Central Taiwan Science Park, Taichung, Taiwan against ISO 50001:2011 Energy Management Systems Standard. AUO is the world's first manufacturer facilities to have obtained this certification just following the publishing of ISO 50001 standard for energy management by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) last June 15, 2011. Meanwhile, AUO's TV module plant in Suzhou, China has also passed the compliance evaluation. An ISO 50001:2011 certificate awarding ceremony was held on June 28, 2011, and it was attended by Dr. Jerry J.R. Ou, Director General of Bureau of Energy, Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs. AUO also is the first company in Taiwan that has obtained ISO 50001:2011 certification.
AUO has introduced ISO 50001:2011, the international standard on energy management, to front-end TFT and back-end module facilities. The goal is to achieve 25% energy savings in 2015, with 2010 as the base year. The focus of the ISO 50001 certification is on production energy management and represents that the company's persistent efforts in energy-saving green practices. With such a management system implemented, 10% energy conservation can be achieved for AUO's G8.5 fab in Central Taiwan Science Park in 2011. An estimated 55 million kWh of electricity will be saved, and 35 thousand tons of carbon emissions reduced, the equivalent effect of the afforestation of nine times that of the New York City Central Park. Approximately 5% of energy could be saved at AUO's Suzhou TV module plant, equivalent of around 1.5 million kWh of electricity. The next step, AUO will continue to pool in more resources to expand the ISO 50001 energy management system to each of its production fabrication. Energy performance will also be taken into account in procurement to enhance value chain energy management. Energy management system certification has been gaining considerable attention from countries around the world. ISO 50001 will become the next global highlight following ISO 9001, the quality management system, and ISO 14001, the environmental management system. Getting the verification will become a prerequisite for a company's international competitiveness.
"What AUO has achieved is to be honored as the first ISO 50001:2011 (IS) certificate issued by SGS globally. The Company is also the world's first manufacturer to have obtained this certification," said Outi Maatta, SGS's VP of Global Marketing & Business Development. "AUO is a global front runner not only with its systematic approach towards energy management, but also with energy-saving measures and management during production. Their overall energy efficiency is considerably better than that of ordinary office buildings."
SGS has already provided certification services to companies in Europe and in Asia against the BS EN 16001:2009 Energy Management Systems Standard or against a national energy management standards. SGS Ireland Ltd. obtained accreditation against EN 16001:2009 issued by Irish National Accreditation Board. SGS (CSTC) China is one of the two international certification bodies in China approved by China Certification and Accreditation Administration to conduct a pilot certification project against China National Energy Management System Standards GB/T 2331:2009.
The ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems standard is developed by the ISO/PC 242 energy management project committee of International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO 50001 specifies requirements for an organization to establish, implement, maintain and improve an energy management system, which enables an organization to take a systematic approach to achieve continual improvement of energy performance, energy efficiency and energy conservation. It helps organizations to manage energy supply and energy uses and consumption, including measurement, documentation and reporting, design and procurement practices for energy using equipment, systems, processes, and personnel. Implementation of the standard should lead to reductions in energy cost, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts through systematic management of energy. ISO 50001 is anticipated to affect up to 60 percent of the world's energy consumption and has the potential to become a global trade catalyst for industrial energy efficiency in the same way that ISO 9001 has become for quality.
ISO 50001 is an international framework for industrial, commercial or institutional facilities, or entire companies, to manage their energy, including procurement and use. It is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations irrespective of geographical, cultural or social conditions.
Conformance with ISO 50001:2011 will demonstrate that a plant or company has sustainable Energy Management System in place, has completed a baseline of energy use, and has committed to continuously improve energy intensity.

How feasible it to combine Proof of Work and Proof of Elapsed time consensus to create a custom blockchain?
Doesn't slashing incentivize DDOS attacks on smaller nodes? Won't it lead to a much more centralized network infrastructure than proof-of-work?
Can't we incentivize miners to include more transactions in their block?

Fluoride Linked to Bone Cancer, Again
Fluoride is added to 2/3 of U.S. public water supplies; but is not essential for water purification or dental health.
ArriveNet | June 28, 2005
Newly available research, out of Harvard University, links fluoride in tap water, at levels most Americans drink, to osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer (1).
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a highly-regarded Washington DC-based organization, urges that fluoride in tap water be declared a known or probable cancer cause (2), based on this and previous animal and human studies.
Elise Bassin, PhD writes, in her April 2001 Harvard doctoral thesis, "…for males less than twenty years old, fluoride level in drinking water [about 1 part per million] during growth is associated with an increased risk of osteosarcoma."
Further, EWG charges that Bassin's lead advisor, Chester W. Douglass, DMD, PhD signed off on her research; but told federal health officials there is no cancer link to fluoride, according to the Boston Herald (2a).
Douglass is also editor-in-chief of the Colgate Oral Care Report, a newsletter that goes to dentists and is supported by toothpaste manufacturer Colgate Palmolive.
"It appears Douglass violated federal research rules, according to the group's complaint, which they plan to file with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences," writes the Boston Herald.
According to EWG, "Research dating back decades, much of it government funded, has long suggested that fluoride added to drinking water presents a unique cancer risk to the growing bones of young boys." (3)
Citing a strong body of peer-reviewed evidence, including the Bassin study, EWG urges an expedited review of fluoride for inclusion in a U.S. government report of substances known or feared to be cancer-causing in humans. (2)
Richard Wiles, EWG's Sr. Vice President, told the British newspaper The Observer, "I've spent 20 years in public health trying to protect kids from toxic exposure. Even with DDT, you don't have the consistently strong data that the compound can cause cancer as you now have with fluoride." (4)
High-quality epidemiological studies show a strong association between fluoride in tap water and osteosarcoma in boys, reports EWG.
EWG's Wiles writes, "The safety of fluoride in America's tap water is a pressing health concern….the weight of the evidence strongly supports the conclusion that millions of boys in these [fluoridated] communities are at significantly increased risk of developing bone cancer as a result."
"The Harvard dissertation…obviously had merit because Bassin was awarded her doctorate," writes The Observer.
Fluoride is added to water supplies in a questionable attempt to reduce tooth decay. Pro-fluoridation studies are outdated and flawed as revealed in British (5) and U.S. reviews of the literature (6).
Because osteosarcoma usually develop from osteoblasts (the cells that manufacture growing bone), it most commonly develops in teenagers who are experiencing their adolescent growth spurt. Boys are twice as likely to have osteosarcoma as girls, and most cases of osteosarcoma involve the bones around the knee. (7)

The Pink Topaz Demi-Parure Brooch Replica
The history of the pink-topaz demi-parure begins in the nineteenth century in Imperial Russia. In 1804 Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, daughter of Tsar Paul I of Russia married Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Einsenach. Maria Pavlovna was the granddaughter of Catherine the Great and sister of Tsar Nicolas I, Queen Catherine of Wattemberg and Queen Anna of the Netherlands
Tsar Paul presented Maria Pavlovna with the set as a wedding gift, which included this wonderful brooch. Maria Pavlanove and Carl Friedrich had three children, and the middle child Augusta inherited her mother's pink topazes. Augusta married Kaise Wilhelm I of Germany in 1829 but had no children. Kaiser Friedrich III, a german Emperor married Princess Vicky, daughter of Queen Victoria and Price Albert, and Louise, who married Grand Duke Friedrich of Baden in 1856.
Augusta left the pink-topaz demi-parure to her daughter Louise. In 1881 Louise's daughter married Crown Prince Gustaf of Sweden and became Sweden's queen consort in 1907
Grand Duchess Louise died in 1923, and the parure was passed onto Victoria who on her death bequeathed them to a jewellery foundation which means that the jewels will stay in Swedish hands and the Swedish Royal Family possesses this Russian pink topaz demi-parure, which was given to Maria Pavlova by her father Tsar Paul I
